At first the app seemed to resolutely not want to increase the TLOD above the Max despite being at elevation and having headroom. Looking at the log, I see that it tried briefly and then came back down. So, I switched to VFR then back to IFR and it immediately started to rise, including the Mtn+ range. However, after a while, and still having headroom, it decided to drop down the the TLOD Max again. Consequently, I switched to VFR and left it there. It rose to the TLOD Max plus the entire Mtn+ value (400 + 400), and stayed there, but I paid for it upon landing. I had lots of stutters, every time the program decreased the TLOD value. Here is an screenshot of when it wouldn't increase above TLOD Max on IFR: Here is how is looked when switched to VFR: Finally, here is the log: Reveal hidden contents 2024-09-03 20:57:13.494 [INF] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2024-09-03 20:57:13.521 [INF] [ App:InitLog ] MSFS2020_AutoFPS v0.4.2.17 started!

Thanks for the feedback. It does indeed look as though IFR mode is not playing the TLOD Max Extra increase game. The code for this functionality is quite simple in that if, with either the IFR or VFR profile, TLOD Max + is enabled AND you are above the Mtn Alt Min for that profile then it adds TLOD Max Extra to TLOD Max to give the active TLOD Max, so it should work the same for IFR or VFR. The only thing of note I see differing between your IFR and VFR profiles is that your VFR has an Alt TLOD Base of 0ft, which might mean I left some older TLOD changes on ground code still in place that is causing the issue. I shall investigate further and see if I can replicate. EDIT: I just tried your settings and IFR and VFR behaved as they should, even with Alt TLOD Base set to 0ft for VFR. The only thing I can suggest is to either delete your config file or uninstall/reinstall the app so the config file gets rebuilt cleanly. EDIT2: I tested further and managed to get TLOD to not increase when it should when using Alt TLOD Base set to 0ft. The 0ft is causing the issue because the app wants to adjust TLOD Min Extra but at 0ft it is in FPS priority mode whenre TLOD Min Extra is ignored. Simple fix is to disallow 0ft Alt TLOD Min base as with the current coding it is contradictory. I shall update the app to force Alt TLOD Min to be 100ft max and have it auto update anyones config file if it is lower than this currently. So for now just manually set Alt TLOD Base to be 100ft for your VFR profile and I will fix for everyone in the next update. Oh and having very high TLODs for landing is a recipe for stuttering, especially with an allowable range up to 800. The code currently calculates your TLOD Min Extra based on your TLOD Max inclusive of and TLOD Max Extra for mountains. Maybe I should limit TLOD Min Extra to only go up to TLOD Max exclusive of any TLOD Max Extra for mountains.

The issue is that the server remains at tLOD 50 instead of going up to 200. I have to admit that I did not check tLOD over the last couple of weeks, so I am not sure how long I have this issue. Before tLOd always went up to 200. The server is a 13900K @ 5.5Ghz / 4090 and tLOD 200 is never been an issue. Tried again but tLOD remains at 50 Then I set fps to 40 but still tLOD stays at 50 - - - Edit : I uninstalled this beta and reinstalled 4.2..16 and it worked right away. Then I uninstalled 4.2.16 and reinstalled 4.2.17 test 7 and to my surprise that version was now working correctly… Well that's weird but I'm glad it fixed itself! 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11

I'll modify the initial settle timer to be the full 20 seconds always, like it was previously, so these items have enough time to load. Will that be long enough? Alternatively, like I have suggested before, I could implement a reset button on the app so that you don't have to restart it or toggle between IFR/VFR to trigger a reset. What do you think? Yes i wait for your reset button 👍 Frédéric Giraud

Oh, right you are. I'm getting my IFRs and VFRs mixed up, so the 0ft was not the issue it seems. In any case, I am reworking the TLOD Max Extra code for the next test version, so perhaps wait for that and see if it does it again. 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11

Anyway, I think this is a worst-case scenario. I've implemented the TLOD Min floor check in the latest test build I am working on that I mentioned below and it is working quite well with delayed addons pulling down FPS so I don't think I need to have a set time period for settling on startup. We'll see what you think when I release it, but in test I did yesterday, I started FSLTL after TLOD Min had tuned and it forced a TLOD Min reduction due to the FPS drop it induced. 23 hours ago, Reset XPDR said: Alternatively, I can implement a TLOD Min floor check where if TLOD Min is not low enough at any time because TLOD Min Extra is too high that the app just lops 10-20% off TLOD Min Extra to rectify it. This would also address @Cpt_Piett's scenario of other apps loading in scenery, weather or AI aircraft later that changes to TLOD Min scene.

September 4, 20241 yr When you use fstl and fshud, these programms are often connected 3 or 4 min after the plane is at gate, so do you think it is a problem or not for tlod min floor check? Frédéric Giraud

It shouldn't matter how long until these programs start.

September 5, 20241 yr I'm becoming overwhelmed with all this. Under Expert Options I have been using "Auto TLOD". The latest builds, and frankly this thread has lately been focused on "FPS Sensitivity". I am still on Build 0.4.2.16 and I am hitting my RTSS locked FPS of 57. Should I consider using 4.2.17-test Build & "FPS Sensitivity"? If so what would be the benefit. I'm happy with the performance I have at the moment. I also use FSHud injected AIG traffic with a setting of 35 on the ground & 30 Active, if that means anything. BTW, thanks again for this tremendous app!

As you say, most of the updates since 0.4.2.16 have focused on automation methods other than Auto TLOD, so other than the much lower app to MSFS interaction I have coded, which seems to improve smoothness for all modes, there is no real benefit to you trying out the .17 test builds at this time. In the near future however I am looking at bringing optional TLOD Extra functionality to Auto TLOD for those using frame rate caps, like I do normally with my VR flying, so that the app can automatically increase your previously set TLOD range should sufficient headroom exist when you start your flight. The seeking process will be slightly different than the new TLOD Min Extra functionality I've been working on recently in that it will progressively increase TLOD until the TLOD level can no longer maintain your target FPS, then back it off a bit so that you are still maintaining your target FPS with a higher than usual TLOD setting. That's the theory anyway, so we'll see what happens when I try and code it! 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
September 5, 20241 yr Author An update on development progress with the latest test build, which is still too green to release for user testing yet but I just wanted to keep y'all informed of where this is heading. The major issue I am trying to resolve is choosing TLOD Min Extra on descent as the app doesn't know what it should be until your aircraft is quite low but it needs to know much higher than this to plan the TLOD reduction to get there, so a catch 22 situation. I'm probably going to have to estimate an initial TLOD Min Extra up higher then revise it as the descent reveals more. In any case, here is what I do have working: Revised status line to show current allowable TLOD range and simplified app priority and mountains status messages accordingly, as shown below: TLOD Min Extra commencing the seeking process: TLOD Min Extra completed the seeking process: In the air above Alt TLOD Base but still within the altitude band where TLOD Max is restricted on a sliding scale: Finally, once high enough to be in FPS priority mode, keeping the initial TLOD Min Extra Added Reset button that will reset your TLOD and Cloud settings to start up default (works on the ground only currently but I need to get working in the air too). Just after clicking on Reset: Added automatic 20% reduction of TLOD Min Extra should conditions deteriorate after TLOD Min Extra is set such that TLOD Min is causing FPS to drop too far below target. Fixed TLOD Max Extra Mtns deactivate timer and progressive reduction now being separate logic. The increase to TLOD Max will be shown in the TLOD range status line and will also show when this Extra TLOD is progressively decreasing following deactivation after leaving mountainous areas, as shown below. Changed TLOD Min Extra to ignore TLOD Max Extra so that low altitude and ground TLODs are contained in mountainous areas to reduce stuttering in these flight phases.

September 5, 20241 yr Dang.Look forward to the improved automation of this regardless. Thanks again Reset! For the record I have the below hardware settings and cap my 60hz monitor (4k and gsync) to 59. I use AutoFPS with VFR and turn it off in IFR mode. However, I still find that my take off and ascents are pretty decent but my approach/finals are still more stuttery than takeoff/ascent. This is with Expert settings off.
